A very special day for Lae

﻿Lest We Forget:September 16 2018 is the 75th anniversary of the recapture of Lae by Australian troops in 1943 from the Japanese. This makes this year's Independence celebrations in Lae very special. We hope Australia, Papua New Guinea, Lae and Morobe will make that day a memorable one. Our young people must know the rich and colourful history of our hometown. A place with no past has no future.

Below is the article in The National Weekender of Sept 14 on the 75th Anniversary of the Liberation of Lae on Sept 16, and Salamaua on Sept 11 (please click to enlarge)
